I loved the first redone album and I had already ordered this one. Glad to hear you like it. Can't wait to get my copy. Pete Jones vocals make lots of good things even better from Lee Abraham to Red Bazar and Camel and Cyan in between. Hey, hey, Scot, considering some of lyrics of prog classics I don't know that proggers can ever rip on lyrics.
Cool...love your energy...I heard the promo on youtube and I was also like...these lyrics are like a teenager wrote them...lol....but as you say it sounds great and im gonna buy it 100% it has to sit on my shelf for a once per year play..lol...but I need to consume....😵💫🤪
It's not material I've come across before , sounds as though my name-sake is working his magic again... I'll be checking it out Scot , sounds interesting. Cheers , thanks again Scot ! 😍
He is really great. Came to prominence in the UK with appearances in Star For A Night and X Factor. Lost his sight as a child but that certainly didn’t stop him!!! What a talent. He’s playing the sax too on this one.
Being a huge Mike Oldfield fan l got into Robert Reed through his first Sanctuary album. I've got all his solo stuff now, I've almost got all the Magenta albums and now 3 of the Cyan albums. I didn't know about the original Pictures From The Other Side or The Creeping Vine so thanks for mentioning them. I was at a Mike Oldfield convention in Reading England last May and Robert was there. I had the pleasure of meeting him over the weekend and he even sat and had a couple of beers with us. A really great down to earth person. There's a few more things in the pipeline planned he said. One was this Cyan album. Apparently there's a new Sanctuary album in the works and The Ringmaster live at the Arlington Arts Centre, Newbury CD & DVD. This was filmed on that Mike Oldfield convention weekend which I attended so I'm greatly looking forward to that release in particular. Anyway great review. I listened to this album last night and loved it. Take care.
@@TheProgCorner indeed mate. Same as Mr. Oldfield. Shout out to Peter Jones too... an awesome singer who l came across from Camel's Moonmadness live at the Royal Albert Hall Blu Ray.
Great review, Scot! I believe remakes of the two 'missing' tracks from the original album will be coming out on a mini-album later in 2024. 'The Guardians' is apparently expanded to about 25 minutes! I liked both the original first two Cyan albums (despite the occasionally 'so terrible they're funny' lyrics), but the remakes take them both up a level. I wonder if they will remake 'The Creeping Vine' as well?
Hey Scot! Sounds like a really cool album. Can always tell when you really like something, your emotions rise to the top! On a side note; is everything good with The Prog Corner Store? Glad to see size 3X, some stores only go up to 2X. Later bro.☮️👑😎
@@TheProgCorner What was always amazing about the vocals of RPI bands is that they are so powerful, dramatic, theatrical and fit the music brilliantly. Just take the vocals from La Maschera di Cera , La Coscienza Di Zeno or Il Bacio Della Medusa, the vocals fit perfectly.
Isn't that Mr. Brady? I just listened to a live 'Broken Man' rendition...it's so bland. . It was so boring and aimless, yet it still lasted eleven minutes. The last STYX record is creative genius in comparison. I am not patting Styx on the back.
Prog album of the year for us.
It’s pretty awesome!!!
Thank you for Introducing me to the tangent Holy cow!
I love all 12 albums!!! So great!!!

Rob Reed was a young man and those are definitely some “young man” lyrics!!!

I heard Rob is going to do that next!!!
Makes sense. Looking forward to that!
Those Bo Hanson albums in the background look promising...
Friday is going to be a big day!!!!

I think they fixed the problem. Hopefully.
@@TheProgCornerThanks!👍😎

Top dollar review Scot
You are way too kind!!!
Hey Dave!😎
@@jeffschielka7845 Jeff my man. How the heck are you my friend?
@@TheAlbumReviewGuy Hanging in there. Hope you are well Dave.👍😎
@@jeffschielka7845 I am Jeff. Keep plodding on
C+ is above average!
Indeed it is!!!
Great review, but those lyrics man, that is why I like instrumental music more. Cheers and prog on.
That’s why I started listening to RPI.
@@TheProgCorner That's a good one my friend, I couldn't agree more.
If I can’t understand the lyrics then I can’t hate them!!!

Looking forward to this. I enjoyed the "first" album.
Robert is Madder than Rosy and Carmine with Vermillion cheeks!
Absolutely!!!!

Their style is kinda laid back but I like it…
